I just don't think this bug is important enough to be worth cherrypicking back to pre-yakkety systems; there's frankly a host of other bumblebee and packaging related issues that are probably just as important, if not more so, and I think they fall out of scope of a SRU (and yes, there's been a ton of packaging changes, see http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/b/bumblebee/unstable_changelog). For this particular bug, users who do not know what bumblebee is are unlikely to install it in the first place, and there's a simple workaround: "sudo apt-get purge bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia" instead of just "sudo apt-get remove bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia".

If you're interested in pushing this yourself for trusty/xenial, you can check out the SRU documentation at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
